In which bemoaning triumphs over stiff-upper lippedness in the form of the proofs' coming back.

Yes. The proofs came back from the printer veritably the day after I bemoaned their continued absence. That's one up to bemoaning. Bemoaning once again fells patience. And the proofs, dearests, are very shiny indeed. The colours are all suitably colourful and the words are mostly if not entirely in the right order and mistakes there are few decreasing rapidly to none. On Wednesday, we hope to have them thoroughly gone over and the marginally tweaked files returned to the printer so the final books can be churned out of their glorious book machines and into your waiting laps. I think that's how it works. Hurrah.

In other news, Gav suggested in the days shortly before I remembered we had a blog that we ought also to have a motto. You know the sort of thing. 'Leaf Books: Unfunded But Game'. Etc. Mostly we said 'piffle' and 'like heck do we need a bally motto', because we're pretty erudite like that, and also verbally dated. Gav only very nearly took these as genuine suggestions.

If you have genuine suggestions, do feel free to make them. And I jolly well hope they're comedic.

Sam.
